INTRODUCTION 


The authority for the Federal Communications Commission to impose and collect fees and associated charges is 
contained in Title III, § 3001 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-39), § 8, revising 
47 U.S.C. § 158, which directs the Commission to prescribe charges for certain types of services it provides to 
communications entities over which it has jurisdiction. 

This Fee Filing Guide is considered a reference guide to identify and describe the entire fee filing requirements 
for the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. It is meant to be a handy reference of the services and requests for 
FCC actions that are subject to a fee. The guide contains a breakdown of the types of applications, form 
numbers, fee amounts, payment type codes, and the mailing address for each service provided. 

If further information is required that cannot be answered in this guide, please consult the Commission's rules as 
set forth in Title 47, Part 1, Subpart G, of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Copies of the CFR may be 
purchased from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop SSOP, 
Washington, DC 20402-9328, Telephone (202) 512-1800. Additional copies of this guide may be obtained 
without charge by calling (202) 418-3676, outside the Washington area (800) 418-3676. All fees are subject to 
modification as required by Congress. 



FILING INFORMATION 


If you wish to conduct business with the FCC, you need an FCC Registration number (FRN). This number is 
mandatory for a filing and used to uniquely identify you in all transactions with the FCC. It is important to have 
the FRN available when contacting or submitting documents to the FCC. Unless the payer and the applicant are 
the same person or entity, a separate FRN number must be used for the payer and for the applicant. If you are 
acting as an agent for an entity, and the remittance (i.e., check or credit card) carries your name as an official 
designated to pay on behalf of the entity, you must include the entity's name both as payer and application in 
order to use the same FRN. Failure to follow these instructions will result in your application being returned as 
unprocessable. 

OBTAINING YOUR FCC REGISTRATION NUMBER (FRN) 

• Go to www.fcc.gov , click FCC Registration Number (FRN) Commission Registration 
System (CORES) link at the left of the page. 

• Check your pre-assigned number at www.fcc.gov , FCC Registration Number (FRN) 
Commission Registration System (CORES) link at the left of the page. 

• File FCC 160, (CORES Registration). You may obtain the form at 
http://www.fcc.gov/forms , by calling the FCC at 1-877-480-3201 (TTY 717-338-2824), 
or by calling the FCC’s Fax Information System by dialing (202) 418-0177, catalog ID 
#3000160. Mailing instructions are on the form. 

If you are unable to register electronically, you can still submit your application for a Registration Number (FCC 
160) directly to U. S. Bank (along with your filing documents and payment) or fax the FRN registration form to 
the CORES Helpdesk at (202) 418-7869 for some filing procedures. U. S. Bank will register you and you will 
receive a confirmation letter from the FCC through the U.S. Postal Service mail. 

PASSWORD RESET 

If you forget your password for your FRN: 

• Go to www.fcc.gov and click on the FCC Registration Number (FRN) Commission 
Registration System (CORES) link at the left of the page and then click on UPDATE. 

This will take you to where you originally registered. Under the block where you are to 
enter your password, click on online password reset and the system will walk you through 
to reset your password. 

• You can request a password reset at https://esupport.fcc.gov/password.htm. 

• You can request a Personal Security Question (PSQ) at https://esupport.fcc.gov/psq.htm 

• Questions regarding PSQ and password resets can be addressed by calling the FCC at 1- 

877 - 480 - 3201 . 

METHOD OF PAYMENT (DO NOT SEND CASH) 

NOTE: The U.S. Treasury will reject Credit Card transactions greater than $24,999.99. This limit includes 
multiple transactions on the same Credit Card totaling more than this limit in a single day. For transactions 
greater than $24,999.99, an alternative method of payment must be used. Payment methods can be found at 
http://www.fcc.gov/fees . 

{Reference: Treasury Bulletin No. 2005-03 ( http://www.fms.treas.gov/TFM/voll/bull.html) . I 

• Online Payment - Online credit card payments are encouraged. Online credit card 
payment is an available option when filing electronic application submissions. The Commission 
will accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. If you choose 
this method of combined filing/payment, do not send an FCC 159 to U. S. Bank. 

• Pay Fees - Individual ULS applicants who have already submitted applications earlier but 


- 2 - 


did not pay while filing can use Pay Fees. Visit http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls and click on Pay Fees 
under the ‘Quick Links’. For ULS users who submit a large volume of applications for wireless 
licenses using Electronic Batch Filing (EBF) , Pay Fees enables you to pay your fees online by 
credit card and submit FCC 159 applications simultaneously. The Commission will accept Visa, 
MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. The applicant must remit payment 
within 10 calendar days of submitting the application, or the application will be dismissed. 
Payment received more than ten (10) days after electronic filing of an application on a 
Bureau/Office electronic filing system (e.g., ULS) will be forfeited (see 
§§1.934 and 1.1111). 

• Form of payment: Per § 1.1112 (a) of the Commission’s rules, the form of payment of 
annual and multiple year regulatory fees must be paid electronically as described in Section 
1. 11 12(e). 1 Fee payments, other than annual and multiple year regulatory fee payments, 
should be in the form of a check, cashier’s check, or money order denominated in U.S. dollars 
and drawn on a United States financial institution and made payable to the Federal 
Communications Commission or by a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover 
credit card. No other credit card is acceptable. Fees for applications and other filings paid by 
credit card will not be accepted unless the credit card section of FCC Form 159 is completed 
in full. The Commission discourages applicants from submitting cash and will not be responsible 
for cash sent through the mail. Personal or corporate checks dated more than six months prior to 
their submission to the Commission's lockbox bank and postdated checks will not be accepted 
and will be returned as deficient. Third party checks (/. e . , checks with a third party as maker or 
endorser) will not be accepted. 

• Form of Payment for Annual and Multiple Year Regulatory Fees: Per § 1.1158 of 
the Commission’s rules, any annual and multiple year regulatory fee payment must be submitted 
by online Automatic Clearing House (ACH) payment, online Visa, MasterCard, American 
Express, or Discover credit card payment, or wire transfer payment denominated in U.S. dollars 
and drawn on a United States financial institution and made payable to the Federal 
Communications Commission. No other credit card is acceptable. Any other form of 
payment for annual and multiple year regulatory fees (e.g., paper checks, cash) will be rejected 
and sent back to the payor. The Commission will not be responsible for cash, under any 
circumstances, sent through the mail. 

If you cannot file electronically you may elect to file manually provided the radio service is 

eligible for manual filing. 

• Mail In Payment - Applicants can file online and not make a payment immediately and 
print the FCC 159 provided at the end of the submission. The FCC 159 along with form of 
payment should then be submitted to Federal Communications Commission, P. O. Box 
979097, St. Louis, MO 63197-9000. Again, the applicant must remit payment within 10 
calendar days of submitting the application, or the application will be dismissed. 
Payment received more than ten (10) days after electronic filing of an application on a 
Bureau/Office electronic filing system (e.g., ULS) will be forfeited (see §§1.934 and 
1.1111). Payment of application fees may be made by check, bank draft, money order, credit 
card or wire transfer. If paying by check, bank draft, money order or wire transfer, your 
remittance must be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. financial institution and 
made payable to "FCC." No postdated, altered or third party checks will be accepted. No 
checks will be accepted for processing if older than six months. The Commission will accept 
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. 


1 Annual and multiple year regulatory fee payments shall be submitted by: (1) online ACH payment; (2) online Visa, 
MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card payment; or (3) wire transfer payment denominated in U.S. 
dollars and drawn on a United States financial institution and made payable to the Federal Communications 
Commission. No other credit card is acceptable. Any other form of payment for regulatory fees (e.g., paper checks) will 
be rejected and sent back to the payor.

If paying by wire, applicants located in foreign countries should contact their local bank to determine what 
U.S. financial institution their bank is affiliated with that will allow a transfer of funds. Please keep in mind 
that there may be an additional transfer fee added from your bank for this service. If an additional cost is 
required by your bank, and you have not included additional funds to cover this cost, it will be taken out of 
the funds that will be transferred. This will result in your remaining transfer amount being insufficient to 
cover the fee for the filing. Please check with your bank prior to completing this transaction to determine 
their policy. For further instructions in making payment by wire see our website at 
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/wire-transfer 

Payment of fees, fines, and other debts may also be made by electronic payment. There are two types of 
electronic payments available. The first type is designed specifically for larger corporations capable of 
CPU/CPU communication. Under this method, the payer bank wires funds directly to the Commission's 
lockbox bank. As with cash payments, the funds must be wired from a U.S. financial institution. The second 
type is designed for smaller businesses and individuals. Under this method, the lockbox bank is given 
authority to withdraw funds from the customer's bank account. Authorization can be transmitted by a 
personal computer or by calling a toll-free number. To obtain more information about electronic payment and 
how it works, please contact the Revenue and Receivables Operations Group at (202) 418-1995. For further 
information on making payment by electronic transfer see our website at 
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/wire-transfer 

REMITTANCE ADVICE - FCC 159 

The Remittance Advice, FCC 159, must accompany payment to the Federal Communications Commission for 
Application Processing Fees, Fines, Forfeitures, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) billings or any other 
debt due to the FCC. The information on this form is collected and stored in a database to ensure credit of 
full payment of monies due, to expedite any refunds due, and to service public inquiries. Please refer to this 
guide for specific form requirements. Reproduced forms are acceptable. FCC 159C is a remittance advice 
continuation sheet that must be used when paying for more than two call signs in a single filing or when 
paying for multiple applicants in a single filing. Each call sign and/or applicant must be listed separately on the 
FCC 159/FCC 159C. 

Ways to obtain an FCC 159: 

Go to http://www.fcc.gov/forms . 

• Call the FCC’s Form Distribution Center at 1-800-4 18-FORM [3676]. 

• Call the FCC’s Fax Information System by dialing (202) 418-0177, catalog ID #3000159. 

• Call the FCC at 1-877-480-3201 (TTY 717-338-2824). 

DEBT COLLECTION IMPROVEMENT ACT 

In accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA), the Commission will withhold action 
on applications and other requests for benefits upon discovery that the entity applying for or seeking 
benefits is delinquent in its non-tax debts owed to the Commission, and dismiss such applications or 
requests if the delinquent debt is not resolved. The Commission’s application fee rules have been 
amended to state that if payment of the delinquent debt is not made or satisfactory arrangements for 
payment are not made, we will withhold action on applications and other requests. 

FEE EXEMPT APPLICATIONS 

Please check the appropriate block on your application and provide the proper documentation, as required, to 
certify that your application is fee exempt. 47 CFR, Part 1, § 1.1116 of the Commission's rules explains who 
qualifies as fee exempt. 

MANAGING DIRECTOR DECISIONS 

Requests for waivers, fee determinations, reconsiderations, applications for review, deferments, and specific 
refund requests are referred directly to the Office of the Managing Director. Each request is forwarded to the 
Office of General Counsel for review and legal determination. 47 CFR, Part 1, §§ 1.1115 & 1.1119 govern 


- 4 - 


the Commission's policies in these instances. The requester will receive written notification of the Managing 
Director's decision. These decisions are published monthly and are placed in FCC Docket 86-285. All such 
requests must be submitted in writing to: 

Managing Director 

Federal Communications Commission 
445 12 th Street, SW, Room 1A625 
Washington, DC 20554 

WAIVER OF APPLICATION FEE, FEE DETERMINATIONS, AND DEFERRAL OF 
APPLICATION FEE PROCESS 

The required filing fee must be paid for the service requested using the normal process. All requests for 
waiver of application fee and fee determinations are filed directly with the Managing Director in Washington, 
DC. If the Commission grants the waiver request or the fee determination results in a lower fee, a refund will 
be issued. Deferral of application fees are also filed in Washington, DC, and have a limit of up to six months 
with good cause. Deferrals of fees are considered when the inability to pay the required fee is due to a 
financial hardship (i.e., bankruptcy), and must be accompanied by supporting documentation. 

REFUND PROCESS 

The appropriate Bureau/Office handles routine refund requests. When a Bureau/Office determines that a 
refund is warranted, it is forwarded to the Office of the Managing Director, Revenue and Receivables 
Operations Group for processing. The Revenue and Receivables Operations Group (RROG) handles all 
approved refund requests. Once the refund request is approved, the refund process usually takes 7-10 
business days. Once a request has been reviewed and processed by RROG, it is forwarded to the U.S. 
Treasury in San Francisco, California where a check is issued to the payer of the remittance. For further 
information on return or refund of charges, refer to 47 CFR, Part 1, § 1.1115 of the Commission’s rules. 

MAILING INSTRUCTIONS 

Paper applications requiring a fee must be submitted to Federal Communications Commission, P. O. Box 
979097, St. Louis, MO, 63197-9000 or hand delivered to the U.S. Bank, Attn: FCC Government Lockbox

INFORMATION ABOUT REGULATORY FEES 


The Federal Communications Commission, by Congressional mandate, implemented a regulatory fee schedule to recover costs incurred by the 
Commission relative to policy and rulemaking actions, as well as its enforcement, user information and international activities. 

The regulatory fees do not currently apply to Amateur Radio Services (except Vanity call signs), governmental entities, Commercial Radio Operator 
Permits and Licenses, Non-commercial Educational Broadcast stations, Special Emergency & Public Safety Radio Services, modifications of existing 
authorizations unless that modification results in a renewal or reinstatement for which a regulatory fee is required, and non-profit entities. Non-profit 
entities must provide a current Determination Letter from the Internal Revenue Service when filing documentation for non-profit status under IRS 
Code § 501 or current certification as a non-profit corporation or other non-profit entity by state or other governmental authority. 

These regulatory fees will be assessed annually and will apply to those licensees and entities, which benefit from the Commission's regulatory 
activities, other than licensing or application processing functions. Among the services affected by these fees are the Media Services and Commercial 
Mobile Radio Services (CMRS). The regulatory fees for Media and Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS) are paid on a predetermined date 
established by Public Notice (See Public Notices regarding FY 2009 payments). The regulatory fees for other Wireless Telecommunications Services 
are paid in advance to cover the term of the license and are submitted along with the application fee at the time the application is filed except for Local 
Multipoint Distribution. See Pages 6 through 8 for additional information on the other Wireless Telecommunications Services regulatory fees. 

Regulatory fees may be adjusted annually by the Commission pursuant to § 9 of the Communications Act 47 U.S.C. 159.

UNIVERSAL LICENSING SYSTEM 

ULS is an integrated database and automated processing system which will support electronic filing of applications and other 
filings associated with applications (i.e. amendments, waiver requests, transfers and assignments of licenses, leases, licensee 
ownership information, etc.), collection of licensing information and public access to such information. For information on 
ULS electronic filing, visit the Internet @ http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls . 

Upon submitting applications electronically via ULS, the applicant receives a confirmation of the fee(s) due (if any) for the 
application and is instructed to either pay on-line credit card or print FCC 159 directly from ULS. If not paying online 
immediately, the applicant may within 10 calendar days of the filing, utilize the PAY FEES option at 
http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls . If electronic filing is not available to the applicant and is not required to file electronically, the 
filing may be submitted manually along with FCC 159 and the appropriate fee and submitted to the appropriate address 
provided in this guide. The applicant must remit payment as described in this guide within 10 calendar days of 
submitting the application, or the application will be dismissed. Payment received more than ten (10) days after 
electronic filing of an application on a Bureau/Office electronic filing system (. e.g ., ULS) will be forfeited (see 
§§1.934 and 1.1111). 

In order to avoid processing delays and dismissal due to insufficient fees, the Bureau recommends that applicants filing 
feeable applications via ULS observe the following: 

(1) Pay the amount specified by ULS (you may go back on-line within 10 days of receipt date to make your payment); 

(2) Use the ULS-generated FCC 159; 

(3) If paying by credit card, be sure to complete Section E of FCC 159; 

(4) Submit fee payment in a timely manner (payment is due within 10 calendar days of submission); 

(5) Submit only one instrument of payment (e.g., a check) for each FCC 159; and 

(6) Mail or deliver FCC 159 and payment to the proper St. Louis, MO address. 

For the most current information regarding the Universal Licensing System (ULS), go to the ULS home page at 
http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls. 

For the most current edition of any of the FCC forms necessary for manual filing, you may obtain the form at

Part 13 Restricted Radiotelephone

RESTRICTED RADIOTELEPHONE OPERATOR PERMIT 
WHO NEEDS AN RP? 

At least one person holding an RP is required aboard stations in the maritime and aviation services when: 

making international flights, voyages, or communications; 2) using frequencies under 30 MHz; 3) using a satellite ship earth station, or 4) operating a 
vessel subject to the Bridge to Bridge Act (including domestic operation). 

WHO DOESN’T NEED AN RP? 

For mobile stations: 

1) On board a voluntarily equipped ship using only VHF frequencies on domestic voyages OR using a radar, EPIRB, survival craft, or on-board 
station; 2) on board an aircraft using only VHF frequencies on domestic voyages OR using radar, radio altimeter, transponder, or other automated 
radionavigation transmitter; or 3) at a domestically operated marine utility station. 

For fixed stations: 

1) at shore radar, shore radiolocation, maritime support, or shore radionavigation stations; 2) at a coast station or aeronautical ground station using 
only VHF frequencies; or 3) at an aeronautical enroute station which automatically transmits digital communications to aircraft. 

You no longer need an RP to operate a Broadcast station (e.g., AM, FM, TV). This requirement was eliminated on 12/1/95 (Report and Order, MM 
Docket No. 94-130 released 10/23/95).
